The middle-aged man, who had been dozing with his eyes closed in the carriage, sat upright and slowly asked, "Wang Jian, Li Si, what's going on outside?"

There was no response from them for a long time.

The middle-aged man frowned. Wang Jian and Li Si were at most ten feet away from him, so they should be able to hear his voice. If they couldn't hear him, it meant that something was wrong.

However, he didn't panic; he had experienced this kind of thing since he was a child.

He slowly opened his eyes.

Opening the carriage curtain, I looked outside and was greeted by the strong fragrance of peach blossoms. I was certain this wasn't where I was going, but I didn't know where it was.

He stepped out of the carriage, a long sword hanging at his waist. Before he could take a good look around, he saw a man walking towards him from a distance.

The man was dressed in a white feather robe, his body shrouded in a faint mist of smoke. He had an imposing presence and extraordinary appearance, giving off an air of otherworldly grace.

But this is clearly a teenager, so why does he give off an ethereal feeling?

Who goes there?

The middle-aged man stood on the carriage, his left hand resting on his sword, staring intently at the man who had appeared.

Li Ming stopped and looked at the man standing on the carriage. He was tall and strong, with a majestic presence, thick eyebrows, big eyes, a high nose and a broad face, exuding an air of domineering arrogance.

He possesses the majestic bearing and extraordinary temperament befitting an emperor.

Li Ming noticed that the middle-aged man was wearing a black dragon robe with a long sword hanging at his waist, exuding an imposing aura. Only one person could be associated with this image in Li Ming's mind.

The first monarch in Chinese history to call himself Emperor.

"Is it the First Emperor?" Li Ming asked, though he wasn't entirely sure, so he asked tentatively.

"It is indeed I."

Qin Shi Huang stared intently at Li Ming, looking down from his chariot. He didn't need to hide his name; under heaven, all land belonged to the king, and all people within the realm were his subjects.

No matter where it is, it is all the territory of the Great Qin, and it is all his fame.

Li Ming was so excited that he couldn't speak for a moment. It really was Qin Shi Huang, the Qin Shi Huang who unified the world, the legendary figure who could only be seen in history books.

The life of Qin Shi Huang was even more exciting than the life simulator that Li Ming had played on Earth.

At age 3, she went on the run.

At the age of 9, he returned to Qin.

At the age of 13, he ascended the throne as King of Qin.

At the age of 14, he worked on the Zheng Guo Canal.

At the age of 22, he took personal charge of the government, quelled the rebellion of Lao Ai, and imprisoned Zhao Ji.

At the age of 23, he dismissed Lü Buwei and later exiled him to Shu. Two years later, Lü Buwei committed suicide by poisoning himself.

From the age of 22 to 29, he successively appointed Wei Liao, Li Si and others, continuously developing and strengthening the power of the Qin state, and initiating the plan to destroy the six states.

At the age of 30, he sent Neishi Teng to attack the state of Han, which was destroyed.

At the age of 31, he dispatched Wang Jian and Yang Duanhe to attack the State of Zhao. After a prolonged siege, he bribed Guo Kai and used a counter-espionage plot to have the King of Zhao execute Li Mu and dismiss Sima Shang.

At the age of 32, the Qin army captured the capital of Zhao, HD, and the Zhao state perished.

At the age of 33, Jing Ke's assassination attempt on the King of Qin failed, and Ying Zheng ordered Wang Jian and Xin Sheng to attack Yan.

At the age of 35, he sent Wang Ben to lead an army to attack Wei. They flooded the city, captured the Wei capital, and the Wei state perished.

At the age of 36, he mobilized the entire nation's military force, with Wang Jian as his general, and launched a major attack on the State of Chu. The State of Chu was no match for him, and Xiang Yan was defeated and committed suicide.

At the age of 38, he sent Wang Ben to lead a large army to attack Liaodong Commandery, which completely destroyed the Yan state. Afterwards, he destroyed the Dai state and pacified the Baiyue.

At the age of 39, Wang Ben, who had destroyed the state of Yan, led his army south to attack Qi, but the King of Qi surrendered without a fight, and the state of Qi was destroyed.

With this, King Ying Zheng of Qin completed the unification of the world.

He ascended the throne and proclaimed himself Emperor Qin Shi Huang.

The Three Dukes and Nine Ministers system was established, the prefecture-county system was implemented, weights and measures were standardized, the land system was standardized, the written language was standardized, the currency was standardized, and cart tracks were standardized and the written language was standardized.

At 40, he repaired the imperial road.

At the age of 41, he performed the Fengshan ceremony at Mount Tai.

At 43, he was building the Great Wall.

At the age of 44, he sent Meng Tian to the north to fight against the Xiongnu.

At the age of 45, he dispatched General Zhao Tuo south to develop Lingnan and excavate the Lingqu Canal.

Ying Zheng died at the age of 49 during his tour.

"Who are you?" Qin Shi Huang stared at the young man who knew his name.

"Li Ming."

Li Ming cupped his hands in a gesture of respect to his ancestral emperors and the greatest emperor of all time.

During the reign of Qin Shi Huang, when imperial power had not yet been deified or strengthened, the emperor would kneel before the table like the officials when discussing matters of state, without the kowtow ceremony.

Even if there were kneeling rituals, he would not kneel.

Qin Shi Huang still held the hilt of his sword, not out of vigilance, but because it was a habit he had developed over the years.

Li Ming understood him; this emperor was like that, never without his sword, because he firmly believed that unifying the world depended on the sword in his hand.

I don't know how good his swordsmanship is.

"You don't seem to be afraid of me?" Qin Shi Huang looked at Li Ming, finding it unbelievable that such a young boy was not afraid of him. It was quite interesting.

"I'm not afraid," Li Ming said with a smile. Of course he wasn't afraid of Qin Shi Huang; he simply respected him.

"..."

Qin Shi Huang remained silent.

His gaze, filled with authority and sharpness, fixed on Li Ming.

Li Ming was equally unafraid of him and met his gaze.

The legendary emperors surrounding him were indeed majestic and domineering, but they had no deterrent effect on him whatsoever.

They looked at each other for a moment.

Qin Shi Huang was secretly surprised. The boy's eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, and his movements were natural and skillful, making him more powerful than many of the generals he had ever seen.

Staring at it for too long feels like staring into an abyss.

But this is clearly a teenager.

He withdrew his gaze, no longer meeting the boy's eyes, and calmly stepped down from the carriage.

"Is this the first time I've ever seen a pavilion with this kind of structure?"

Qin Shi Huang pressed his long sword and looked around, and then he saw the pavilion suspended in mid-air in front of him.

This pavilion is so eye-catching, shrouded in mist, it's like a fairyland.

If the boy hadn't been so young, he would have suspected he had stumbled into the territory of immortals.

"Your Majesty, please come to the pavilion for a chat." Li Ming gestured for him to enter.

"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Li, but I have other matters to attend to."

Qin Shi Huang gripped his sword, not intending to sit in Li Ming's pavilion.

He had important matters to attend to, and his trip just now was related to the alchemist Xu Fu's third voyage and the secret of immortality.

He can't waste his time on such trivial matters.

He still has many things left to do.

Just wait where you are; Li Si and Wang Jian will surely come looking for you soon.

He thought he was still in the Qin Dynasty, but he didn't know that he was in another time and space.

Li Ming knew his concerns, but he must have a reason for being there. He stared at Qin Shi Huang carefully.

Although he was full of vigor and unstoppable momentum.

However, through observing the qi, it always felt like there was only an empty shell left.

Suddenly, something occurred to me: Qin Shi Huang seemed to enjoy taking elixirs. Could it be...?

Li Ming asked, "Your Majesty, if I may ask, how old are you this year?"
